Items And Loot Archive

i don't know about you guys, but in the recent hour, I got nothing on my past 20 champs. Is it nerfed?

If it got nerfed, then that has to be about the single fastest nerf to hit! lol

I would like to know if anybody else can confirm this. I just did roughly 20 missions or so, only 1/3 of which actually had Aakuan Champions at the lair, and I looted nada, zilch, zero. I know that's not really a lot for testing purposes, but considering it took me just over an hour to do that, and this guy claims to be looting 6-10 in a 2-3 hour session, I think it would be safe to assume that I should have at least looted SOMETHING. But alas, not even crap loot was dropped let alone CAs with +8/+9 mods.

So either one of two things is occuring. Either I am just completely unlucky, or this guy is full of it.

Confirmed.

Ran missions for a couple of hours - 4 AA's.

The spawn rate for the Champions was about 1 every 4 lairs, so there will be many times you don't see one. You can dump the mission and start over, or kill the lair for the cash and hope for a ring drop - managed 3 of those in the same period (along with alot of crapola and cargo pockets).

Not a quick and easy way to get loot, but it does work if you have the patience to keep pulling missions and waiting for a lucky break.

Well that's good to know. Thanx for the update.

Yeah that used to work but not anymore. At least not for me or several of the other folks here.

i ran around 25missions today , all lvl 82 Aa'kuan , not all were champoins , and got 1AA and 4tapes all with +9 or better mods on them, I only looted one of them off an actual champion, so they do drop off the other mobs

the last 15 mission i did, i got nothing, so sometimes your lucky and sometims not.

some friends ran some for an hour and got nada

i noticed that after 2 hours of this...i looted crap...data houseing units, rings, basic garbage. so i dont know if its like the spinner blade missions on coronet where u just have to be haveing a lucky day to get anything.

ran missions for a couple hours today

12 champions killed all dropped credits except one that dropped a golden bracelet.

35 varying aa'kuans killed and looted credits off most and some different random garbage.

only decent loot was a chemical recycler schematic

10Missions tonight and 1 AA (+9 Rifle Speed)

not as great as in the past but not horrible

Hmm any idea why I can't get anything higher than CL 75 in player cities and nothing higher than cl 15 in npc cities, although I am CL 80?

Edit: Oh and do cl75 aakuans have the same chance on good drops?

I took a few lower level Aakuan missions today ~level 54-55. Weird thing is, they kept despawning abnormally, often times when I was just a few meters away. Sometimes it would happen before I even attacked anything, and sometimes the lair would despawn while I was attacking the NPCs. I had to go away and come back an average of about 3 times before I could get everything to stick around long enough to complete the mission. Also, since they weren't dropping anything but cash (not even cargo pockets or other worthless stuff) I wouldn't have minded just getting the mission rewards. I've also seen similar behavior from the random non-lair Aakuan and Liberation Party camps.

Thx for the info..... did a couple yesterday, loot some trash....but loot 1 CA with Carbine defense and Force Power Max., and one AA

Cheers.
